Cathy Kleinbart asked this question about Olive Kitteridge (Olive Kitteridge, #1):
I read this a few years ago and it has haunted me ever since. I'm wondering if anyone else felt that way. I recently found out that a movie or mini series is in the works. As much as I believe the novel was beautifully written, I won't be watching because I just found it so very sad and maybe "too" relaistic. Anyone else feel that way?

I agree with how much I related to this book and the themes of loss and living. Maybe because I am about to be 52 and have an empty home that we are selling to downsize and am feeling so much of what Ms. Strout so beautifully related in this book made it sad, but in the end a little hopeful for me.

I will be watching, I love Frances McDormand.(less)

Martha Bolton Please watch the mini series, it does end on an uplifting note, and Frances McDormand is far too spectacular in this for you to miss seeing her.
